On the Query Trail Again
Dec. 14th, 2007 02:54 pmWell, that was quick. Last night I sent an e-query for In the Shape of a Man, the first book in the Canum series, to the agent who'd liked the voice and pacing of Cavalier. Overnight, she sent me a request for 50 pages.
I think that, over the holidays, I'll be going over that manuscript very, very carefully.
I'm also looking to send the query to several other agents. There is no guarantee that she'll want to see the whole thing, or even like what she reads. It's all about right desk, right day. And luck. And persistence.
Ignore that fluttering in the stomach. That's the price for persistence. *g*
*****
I'm baking today in preparation for a cookie exchange at the day job, and also because I really wanted to try out the Brown Bag Cookie Co. cookie molds I bought off eBay recently. Shortbread! The double ginger variety is chilling in the fridge as we speak, prior to slicing and baking. The molds work great. I need to get a couple more of the small ones, though, I think, because it seems wasteful to only bake one or two at a time.

While I'm buying gifts for others it only makes sense to buy some for myself, right? So now I'm the proud owner of yet another pair of really nifty Birkenstock clogs, this pair black leather with white Western-style topstitching. (That's the Oklahoma style, if you want to track down a pair for yourself. Birkenstockcentral.com is my friend.) I've been looking for a pair like this for a while now. And now I have them!
